Members from Birmingham UK's The Beat dissolved and formed two new groups: The Fine Young Cannibals and General Public, founded by Ranking Roger and Dave Wakeling.
General Public then churned out the infinitely catchy "Tenderness" on radio and video channels in 1984, later featured on the soundtrack of the nerd Weird Science film.
"Don't Get Me Wrong" is just a perfect pop song; an infectious groove with some of the best lyrics capturing the moment you fancy someone for the first time. Let's not forget that iconic singer/songwriter/guitarist Chrissie Hynde has influenced a legion of female artists over the years including someone that goes by the name of Madonna.
"Don't Get Me Wrong" is a sort of subtle 'sister' to the more in-your-face "Walking on Sunshine" byKatrina & the Waves, an anthem celebrating rainbows, unicorns and general merriment.
The Pretenders had a number of notable 80s tunes including the fine "Brass In Pocket" and "Back on the Chain Gang" with its unforgettable jangle guitar.
